Memories And Thanks Blog Hop

Reading Lori's Blog realizing her sadness for a lost freind was a feeling I know all too well. My Best Friend in the world was Willie Bell Beans. I lost my friend some 14 years now. It happened during xmas holiday during simple knee surgery. Sometimes it feels like yesterday.

Bell was a big Girl with a big heart. She could always find the good in everybody. We'd been friends since I was 18. She was a Beautician and I an Office Assistant. We were single mothers strugling. We loved our children, dancing, food and Jewelry. We were each others strength when we felt the world had beat us down. We cried through our heartbreaks, My wedding, our divorces, Her first gand. She was my friend and I loved her.

Bell especially loved purple and red. As I crafted this pendant I could see her smiling and saying I have the perfect dress, let me put on some lipstick. Her lips would be Plum some shade of purple an her outfit purple or red or both. LMBO. Although I miss my Bell this Memories and Thanks bought back some happy fun memories.

This pendant features an Artisan Lampwork bead I believe from Patricia Dugmore of PJBeads. The purple beads are vintage from Grain of Sand.

Very beautiful Art work. Nice combination of colour and from where she is I deeply believe that Willie Bell could see it and admire and love what who made for her.I feel your sadness as I also lost my best friend too soon.
